Cycling

I started bicycle touring when I first moved to the Netherlands in 1993. My cycling buddy Edward Melger and I started small, and increased the length of our weekend trips through the Netherlands until we decided to take the step and go on a cycling holiday. A week cycling holiday grew to a 2 month holiday in 2013 to a 2 year affair in 2014-2016 cycling from the Netherlands to Australia.

Hiking

Hiking trips

There is something special with disappearing into the wilderness, pack on your back, and emerging weeks later. And, I mean into wild nature. No paths. No cafes. No car parks. No cable-cars. Just the wide open, the skies – the sun, the wind, the rain. Rugged mountains. Wide sweeping plains. Wild rivers. Endless forests.

I love the arctic. So untouched and raw. Rocky mountains, U-shaped valleys formed by the glaciers creeping, oozing down the mountain sides over the millennia. And I love the eternal light. The far north – the land of the midnight sun.

Here are some of my hiking trips. I will be adding posts on these trips in the coming weeks.

Hi Daniel. Good to hear from you, and good luck with your trip.
I have worked for the last 20 years, and so have some savings. I have been using some of those savings on the 2 year bike trip I am now on. I have spent around 12000 euros, which is not that expensive given it is for 2 years of travelling. My cycling companion of the last 6 months – Clement – has spent only 3000 euros in the 2 years he has been travelling.
Camping out and cooking yourself reduces the costs.
